Ethernet solutions are gaining popularity in the embedded connectivity space. There are several key reasons that drive such adoption. Ethernet is ubiquitous and it is the most widely deployed network in many offices and industrial buildings. It is based on IEEE802.3 that ensures reliability of network connections and data transmission. Moreover, the networks are scalable from the simplest to most complex networks. Finally, once equipment is connected to the network, it can be monitored or controlled through the internet.

Microchip addresses the growing demand for a small and low-cost embedded Ethernet solution by offering the following:

With Microchip’s scalable development environment and free TCP/IP stack, you can quickly integrate Ethernet functions into your existing application, thus reducing development risk, total system cost and time to market.
